Sandwiching a quilt is really no fun but must be done! I have 4 x 6 piece of plywood over a table. I also use 505 spray basting which makes the process easier and keeps layers from moving! Another trick that I do is to start laying out the quilt at one edge rather then from the center. This means that you only have to move quilt 1 time. Just make sure you position the layers so there is enough backing/batting/top to cover all the layers.
****This method works good when the backing is just one fabric.

Before I got my frame I found using the ping pong table to clue baste worked well. It also folds up and out of the way.

I just started doing this and so far - success. I purchased 2 "pool noodles". If the quilt is large, I tape the two together for one long roll. I roll the quilt top onto the pool noodle with the wrong side out. On my large cutting surface, I have already placed the backing for this quilt. My cutting surface is 30" x 76". The top of the batting is at the top of my cutting surface. I used "homemade spray baste" which I learned from Chatterbox Quilting (U-tube) and start spraying my top. I spray a little and roll out a little and keep going until spray basted to batting. I iron the top and batting together. Then I start the process all over again with the backing and iron again. I am loving this process and haven't even had a wrinkle on backing! Not sure what my game plan will be if the quilt is longer or wider than 76"! But this has been a game changer for me
